Chosen Solution I have just plugged a screen replacement for the microsoft surface, and though the fan is running and the computer is definitely on, the screen won’t so much as even light up. My old screen was doing this before removal, but it had been cracked for some time. Is it possible something is blown on my motherboard? I may have forgotten to remove the battery connector before removing the initial cracked screen....

Chosen Solution It seems like right after Ithis iPhone screen got replaced a while back at a third party and for some reason, the phone now has a really bad battery drain on standby. I checked the battery health and it is at 90 percent and when I use the phone it dies as expected. However, the standby times for it are really bad. In probably a day the phone is at zero....

Chosen Solution The black line indicates where the aluminum frame was before it came to my possession. Okay, so this phone basically boots up normally (sometimes) but then all of a sudden it reboots. And it does it constantly. The phone was bent on the topside, about 30 degrees or so, could that have caused damage to the motherboard that is causing the booting? I bought a new screen, and reconnected screen cables, i think one of the ports was a bit loose, but down know....

No chime no post. The sleep light comes on and stays on, until I power off....

Chosen Solution My laptop has fallen down on accident and I cant get it fixed (Accidental Damage its once a year) Any low cost to free options? Hey, MemerRick the Great Depending on the issue and your comfort, I would suggest that you repair it yourself. There are not a lot of low-cost repair shop options for high-end laptops like this one.

Chosen Solution Hi I was increasing the space on my late 2013 15” rMBP using the long Sintech adapter and a Samsung 970 Evo (Samsung MZ-V7E1T0BW 970 EVO 1 TB V-NAND M.2 PCI Express) but the link width is only showing as x2 and it seems to be running slow. I tried SMC reset, format & reinstall Mojave, take it out and make sure its sitting in the adapter and connector right but still no luck....

Chosen Solution I currently have a 512gb SSD in my late 2014 MacBook Pro (13") and I was thinking about changing laptops to a late 2015 MacBook Pro (15"). So I was wondering if I could swap the SSD around just so I can keep my 512gb and possibly my files. Both SSDs are the original Apple components. Am ok with using time machine to keeps my files if I have to wipe one or both drives, but I was wondering if there are any things I should double check before attempting to do this?...

Chosen Solution During the beginning stage it begins to pour water in, however it continues to do so non stop, and the water goes directly down the drain staying endlessly in the same process. What to do? Your washer may be syphoning. Make sure the drain hose isn’t inserted too far down the standpipe, or that the drain hose height isn’t below the water level. Is this something that has developed recently?...

Chosen Solution I had it calibrated twice now and it now will not spin out all water. Then states sucking out water while lid is open . It would never even work without lid being lock before this.

Chosen Solution My iPhone was empty at 100% battery charge after 4 hours - also overnight. Then I rebooted the iPhone to make sure that no apps running in the background. Over night, the battery was empty again and could no longer be charged, and the iPhone could not be started anymore. I suspect the problem could be on the battery and handed over the iPhone to an Apple partner for repair....

Chosen Solution So I was given a PS4 that had HDMI port failure. I sent it off to get done in a professional shop that has done my USB port on my cellphone and reballed my beloved 60gb BC model PS3 so I trust their work. I only sent off the motherboard and all seems well. I went to put it back together today. So I carefully using the guide from here I used to take it apart after changing the thermal paste from Arctic Silver to a nice MX-4....

Chosen Solution My 2010 Mac Mini started beeping after powering up when I replaced the original two 1 GB SODIMMS with two 4 GB SODIMMs. It will work if I use only one of the new 4 GB together with one of the old 1 GB. One 4 GB by itself doesn’t work. Why doesn’t it work with both 4 GB chips, but works with mismatched RAM? 5 GB is working fine and speeding things up considerably, but is there a way I can make my Mac use all 8 GB?...

Chosen Solution Currently, my iphone 3gs will shut down and reboot almost daily under moderate to heavy use (games, photo sharing and editing), but good under light work (can read an ebook for hours). It’s 2 years old and has been dropped 5 times in the first 6 months. Symptoms started about 6 months ago, but less frequently so they don’t seem related to the drops. The first crash happened while on the car charger with a nav app, then a few weeks later with a different nav app, had to restore through itune and got error 1603 so I thought it was the gps....

Chosen Solution Hi there, I bought an iPhone 11 pro max from a local gentleman knowing that the rear camera was not working. Figured for the price, was worth a shot and it still most definitely wasn’t a bad deal. It’s the camera app stays black issue, which doing a search, isn’t too rare. Even after replacing with another rear camera, same thing persists. 3uTools says that the camera isn’t working and might be damaged , however, the phones in pristine condition and I’m sure I’m the first person to open it up....

Chosen Solution I lent this laptop to a family member (the fans were loud before but they went on and off every five minutes then and now its constant lol) and when they gave it back the back corner was very flimsy and the entire left side of the rear casing of the keyboard is sort of cracked open, but the computer works still works fine and i have no idea how this happened as it was given back to me in this condition....

Chosen Solution Hi guys, Is it possible to retrieve files from SSD on rMBP Late 2012? I have sold the computer itself but I have the SSD stick. SSD was formatted and OS installed so all my photos from travels around the world are gone. I have tried using recovery software when I still had the computer but without any success. Should I buy an enclosure/adapter for this drive and try again?...
